Important message: The Greater Boston Food Bank is looking for a new location to distribute food to local food pantries, including Hanson. The GBFB is seeking someone to donate the use of loading dock space, preferably with six commercial truck-height doors, each Wednesday from about 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone who is interested should contact the GBFB at 617-427-5200. Hanson use to pick up our orders in Bridgewater, but now have to travel to New Bedford.
